I am a geek because...

[Ian W.]

-I just spent at least a week setting up Gentoo Linux on my computer, for no reason whatsoever (besides the knowledge that I just made Linux work on my computer).

-I'm taking CISCO Networking Semster 1 this semester, and will be able to get my CCNA by the time I graduate high school (i'm a junior now).

-My room is a disaster area, but I know exactly where everything is.

-I'm in all honors and AP classes, except for English (maybe that's why my spelling is horrible...).

-I spent the summer at Brookhaven National Lab, and made more Cryo-Cream then actually doing work (LN2 == Lots of fun ).

-I was happy when I was allowed to gut old computers and get 72 pin RAM (along with other fun stuff such as keylocks ).

-I got the TI-83+ Silver Edition because it's faster and has more ROM.

-I used to play Kiloblaster and Jill of the Jungle on my dad's 486 (actually, it might have been a 286 or a 386, i can't remember) when i was no more than 5 years old.

-I'm probably one of the most dedicated team members on 810.

-I've had a LAN since the good old days of Coaxial Cable (Dasiy Chains, YAY!).

<EDIT>
-I had the robot at my house all summer because I wanted to try to make a dashboard program (which has since been determined a failure because Flash and C++ don't like to play together).
</EDIT>

That's all I can think of for now, but I do have a few 'anti-geek' things too .

-I'm in boy scouts, and I'm halfway through my Eagle Project.

-I love going outside and hiking (I wish I could go upstate more).

That's all of my 'anti-geek' things I can think of. I think it shows how much of a geek I am...
